I'm so happy you included Isla animals. I adopted a puppy from there and I'm flying this Sunday to Isla Mujeres to pick her up and bring her home ( Montreal, Canada) :)
Thanks for the video, showing the animal shelter, made me tear up. I love dogs and have a rescue myself and always cry when I see these beautiful creatures wanting and giving unconditional love.
Been to isla many ,many times and this is the absolute best representation EVER!!!!! Great energy!!! You guys need to have a travel show as it feels like we are right there with you. Keep up your delightful, hard work. Blessings and safe travels to an awesome , fun couple.
Rochelle - seeing your comment just made our day! This type of accolade makes it all worth it. Thank you so so much! We appreciate you more than you know.
P.S. I really appreciate all you shared about being socially conscious and giving back to the community! That is an element that many vloggers don’t seem to care about. You are special people! Thanks...
I am a very empathetic person, sometimes I FEEL too much, so I am always thinking about those around me and try to make sure I am leaving a positive footprint and impact on society. ❤️
The perfect couple to do this! Fun, informative, just delightful. You make us smile just watching you and learning! We love Mexico and have been going for many years. Can always learn more. Thank you!
I really love that you included tips in this vlog for giving back to the local community as well as how to be safe and respectful. It is something I feel like a lot of people on vacation seem to forget. It was lots of fun following you around the the island for the day and the food looked delicious!!!! Thank you 🙏 can’t wait to see what’s next! Any hints?
We’re so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for appreciating the words we had to say! We think it’s extremely important to not just take, but to give back. The world can always use a little more love. Ooo okay next up - is our snorkeling adventure with Whale Sharks! It’s unbelievable! And then we are heading to another island 2 hours north of Cancun called Isla Holbox! Thanks so much again for your support. 😘
Gracias por venir,disfrutar y hablar tan bien de México sus comidas y sus lugares.. THANK YOU FOR COMING AND ENJOYING AND TALKING SO WELL ABOUT MEXICO,MEALS AND PLACES..BIENVENIDOS.
I just discovered your channel last night and I am hooked! 1. I am a lover of Mexico 2. I love exploring in authentic areas 3. you are very entertaining !! Only a few left to watch! THANK YOU!!
No, thank you for watching it! WE appreciate you so much and are so happy that you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for our next video - a day snorkeling with whale sharks! It's whaley fun haha 😂
Y'all are so entertaining and informative at the same time. If you could bottle and sell your personalities, you could make millions. I am headed to Isla in one month and you have already made my trip better.
Ricooooo!!!! 🤟💕😘 Ahhh that is such a nice compliment, thank you so much. We are so glad to hear that this video is going to help you have a more enjoyable trip - our plan has worked! 😃
You both have some of the best travel vlogs ever. I am an Isla mujeres regular and I’m trying to take my dad on a trip here, and your video has the best overall visual and verbal description of what it’s like to be there. FYI I watch all of your other vlogs too. Amazing job!
Words of the wise Don't go the place sucks ass and smells terrible. The sea water is clean and beautiful, but locals are always looking for was to screw you out of money by telling you this is the price and when it comes time to pay the add fees and taxes that don't exist and it's actually an illegal practice but everyone does it anyway.
ALSO! Visiting the puppies is so nice of you guys, many people don't care about animals but I'm so glad you guys did this! Definitely sharing this so people can check your content out, it's just SO GOOD!!!
Thank you! That means so much, and really helps us out to grow! You’re awesome! Aww yes we always try to give back when we go places - plus who doesn’t love a midday dog break! 😃 have a wonderful time on your trip to Isla and thank you again for watching!
I watched your video from my home where it's 92 degrees outside and there's a heat advisory, so I really appreciated the sight of all that gorgeous cooling water. The snorkeling looked so inviting! Now I'm craving a sweet, cool mango. Thanks, guys! So glad you're back to travelling and creating these fun and informative videos. Hasta la vista!
Thanks Mom! We love that you enjoyed. 92! Sounds like New Jersey is hotter than a sizzling fajita at South of the Border! We are so happy to be back out in the world having adventures too! We miss you! Try to stay cool!
Thank you so so much, that means a lot to us. This video took a lot of time and work to make so hearing comments like that make it all worth it! WE are so glad we are adding value to this space. It makes us so happy to see us growing as well! Thanks for watching and commenting, Have a great day! 😊
This has probably been the best travel video made by normal people and I did not get annoyed at anything or get bored and had wonderful tips and definitely going to follow your lead. Just watched so many travel videos that were awful, but kudos, really great vid!
Hey thanks so much! We appreciate your feedback! We have made a bunch of other videos in Mexico since then if you need help with planing travel to other destinations!
I was there 23 yrs ago backpacking with friends...the adventure of my life! So many fun amazing memories! I met my boo on this adventure and we're still together...we found each other...I found my soulmate. Now 23 yrs forward, living in Cali, raised 2 beautiful girls, lived in Italy at the beginning but came back to the US for citizenship and legal reasons...so much has happened but can't wait to begin traveling again or just retiring and live a simple life...when our young one is ready to fly on her own, I hope we can go and spread our wings again, go wherever the wind takes us...life is too short...nature is healing...there's so much more to life than the 5 to 9 grind...I love that you guys are living it up! You don't need a lot of money to have amazing experiences and meet wonderful people...if you are good and mean well...destiny will take care of you...i hope our paths cross one day...wish you all the best and may it last forever!!!
You 2 crack me up! So glad to see you are back. This video makes me want to explore the island so bad! Those golf carts look like fun! That water is the bluest I have ever seen! And those puppies! Can anyone adopt them or do you have to be from Mexico? And keep those eyes on the road!!!!! Great vlog. Can not wait to see where you go next. Keep them coming!
Guys, I am the kind of person that watches tons of travel youtube videos, you guys are The Best! very informative and fun! I can't wait to spend some time at this linda Isla. Gracias!
Well thank you 🙏 you so much Cludia! You are very kind and we appreciate you! Welcome to the Country Collectors family! Isla Mujeres is very beautiful and holds a special place in our hearts 💕 we really hope your experience is as wonderful as we had. Please let us know how it all turns out! We have lots of other content from that area if you need it and please feel free at ask us any questions you might have!
Great video! I love the detail and it makes me feel like I'm actually there, can't wait to see the whale video! The turtle conservation sounds like an amazing project!
Thanks so much Alex! It makes us feel so good to hear that - that is exactly the feeling we are trying to create, that you are here with us. Ahh the whale shark video is going to be so fun! Thanks again for watching and commenting - it means so much to us.
I’m leaving this comment before watching to tell you guys thank you for PV video! I followed your tips and guide and loved my stay there. I am planning to go soon to Cancun / Isla mujeres so I’ll watch this and know for sure I would love this!
Hey guys, Love all your videos! We just spent 4 days on Isla Mujeres & Loved every minute of it!!! Rented a sweet Air B&B, had a golf cart the whole time, we hit Captain Dulches, Soggy Peso, Mango Cafe, Mama Rosa's, had marquesitas with cheese & Nutella, bought a six pack at Isla Brewing, sunset at North Beach but Not enough time for every thing we wanted to do, so we're going back baby! Thank you for your recommendations and your inspiration! Love you guys! Keep on keeping on and I will keep watching you 😀
Wow! That is crazy! Must have happened just a few days after we were there. By the way, we are interested in traveling to Belize, do you have any videos out there on Belize? If not, I would love to hear some recommendations from you. And maybe you know some fellow You Tubers that I could check out. Let me know & thanks again sooo much for sharing your journeys with us! You two are a huge inspiration and I really dig your style! 😀
What a gorgeous island! Thanks for showing us around! The Soggy Peso reminds me of the Soggy Dollar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Islands! The drone footage was incredible! After every video I am hungry and yearning to be living the Island Life!
Hey Kelly! Thanks for coming with us, ooo we are going to have to check out the Soggy Dollar! I love the names, so witty. The drone footage elevates every video - that's why we love it too! Such a unique perspective. We're glad our videos have that affect on you - they are working! 😛 Thanks so much for your continued support, we love you!
Loved the Tortugranja!!! When we dropped in they had a lot of the turtle eggs about ready to hatch it was so exciting to experience and it is a great way to support the future of these beautiful animals.
I’ve seen SO many videos but NONE as ABSOLUTELY helpful as you guys! Thank you so much! I’m going at the end of this month for the first time and had no idea what I’d be doing but now I know!
Hearing that makes us feel so good! We are so happy to know that these videos are helpful! WE wish you the best time on the island - thanks so so much for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much for the Isla animal plug. My wife and I live in Florida and also have an apartment on the island. We try to find homes and transport dogs back to the states every month from Isla animals. Spreading the word is important - thanks
Your videos are so well made: professional, informative and very entertaining. Kudos to you both. This particular video was extremely helpful to me and my wife. We went straight across the street to rent a golf cart like you suggested and headed south. We made it to Garrafon de Castilla but didn’t see anything else because we never left that place. What a hidden gem! We got there early like you suggested and got a spot right on the beach. Incredible snorkeling with beautiful waters and hundreds of fish. And for that price?!! Great tip!! Very well done! My compliments to you both!
Wow! thank you so much for sharing this! I feel like it is everything we need to know for our trip there! You guys Rock! Love there puns and all the fun views around the island! Those drone clips are incredible! I have never seen water so blue! we were excited before but now were can't wait to get there!!!!
haha you know the puns were coming, never a video without at least 1. I am so glad you enjoyed it! I know, the water is incredible! Thanks for supporting us, and commenting. YOU ROCK!
I am ready for more conservation. Often when we travel we don't pay attention to that. It is great that you are shining the light on the environment. Aweee... it's beautiful about the 🐕🐶...
Yay! 🤟 We are ready for more too! We stop at another shelter in our next video coming out either Sunday or Monday. It is a very important topic. We are trying to show you travel while also being responsible travelers, respecting and appreciating the locals and environment. Thanks for watching! 💕
Hola you guys are awesome 😊 what is the name of the place you stayed in Isla Mujeres? We plan on going Feb/March 2022 thinking about staying at Cabanas Maria Del Mar but no kitchen or mini fridge for the price it is a little high. Mucho Gracious
You guys rock. This is the best video I have seen. Such great tips. I wasn't sure about going here till I saw this video. Thank You for sharing all the tips and all the very cool spots. We will be going in February. I can't wait.
Enjoyed some of your videos from your travels in Mexico. You guys have a great demeanor together and Heidys smile definitely is a hook! Enjoy your travels and each other. 🙏
i am mexican and leave My country long ago ... love to see you guys to love my country ... super cool channel love it... both of you make a great way to watch
That Churro looked like it was delicious! I didn't even know you could get them stuffed! You really give some great tips here. I appreciate the advice about being responsible while having a good time and what a great idea to bring school supplies for the local kids! Im sure the school and students will really appreciate it. And that spicy mango on a stick....GENIUS!!!😂😂😂😂 Keep these coming!
Thank you so much for making this video! My family and I have been to Isla Mujares a few times, but always on a hotel sponsored tour so we haven't been able to see the real island. Thanks to your video I have convinced my family to rent a golf cart to see Punta Sur, Garrafon de Castilla, and mos definetly Tortugranja!! My wife has been wanting to view Sea Turtles for years and I had no idea they were even there!! We will be there in late May and will use your guide so thank you again!!!
I LOVE you guys! You have raised the bar ... Now, when I watch other traveling videos , I find no interest whatsoever... You give detailed advice, you have respect both for my culture and my country , you care about animals ... You are fun and adventure altogether 💕✈🇲🇽🙋🏻♀️
Aww 🥰 omgosh these are the best compliments ever! We work so hard planning and creating so this means the world to us! We love showing off your culture, promoting your traditions and sharing what’s important. We love giving back to the communities that share their homes with us!! 💕 And of course the animals - they are just the best!! Thank you so much again!
THIS video changed my mind!! I’m going to Cancun next week and I knew I wanted to do a day trip to isla mujeres on a catamaran/party boat but the more videos I see the more I wanted to actually spend real time in the island. After this video I KNOW I’m spending the whole day here 💖💖💖
New subscriber here! You guys are so fun to watch ☺️ really makes me feel like I'm there with you. And super kudos to y'all for reminding folks to be safe and not drink and drive
Thank you so much 😊 Lincy! We are so happy you joined the family! Welcome! Traveling safely and being respectful to the local people and their culture is very important to us. We know when you are on vacation it can be easy to forget about being safe, so we just wanted to give a gentle reminder 😉.
Those topes come out of nowhere! Even when you're paying attention they sneak up on you haha! Gotta always be careful. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, always appreciated.
Love the video! I can’t wait to go since we are planning our vacation in December. Also, I liked the idea about donating to supplies to the local school in the island. 😃
I enjoyed watching you two so much! Ya'll did a great job showing many beautiful places to go to and Ya'll made me laugh many times through out the video😊
Hola , no se cómo llegué a este video pero me encantó 🤭, yo vivo en Cancún y conozco la isla, pero no conocía algunos lugares que ustedes mostraron , gracias chicos , excelente video 👌
You guys are so hilarious , not the first time I’ve watched this video , might go there for the summer 2023 , thinking Cozumel ( trip to Isla mujeres ) there or Huatulco . 🤷♂️
Thank you so much. We love that you came back for more! It’s such a fun place and one of our favorite beach destinations for sure. It’s worth some time to relax and enjoy! Safe travels! ❤️
First time watching your videos and you got me guys!!!! I love it and I love the respect that you guys give to the place you're visiting. Greetings from a new subscriber 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You guys are great and such beautiful personalities, thanks for all the great info. I gave a huge thumbs up and saved your video to my trip itinerary. Thanks so much for a perfect video.
Aww we love to hear that!! Let us know how your trip goes. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Check out our Cancun one too - if you’re planning on going here we put a lot of good info in it too! Thanks so much for your support!
Seven of us from the University of Colorado drove from Boulder to McAllen, Texas - a journey that began my love affair with Mexico. From McAllen we crossed into Mexico where we caught a plane to Merida and made our way to a true island paradise. In 1968, encouraged by an article in National Geographic, we spent Spring Break on Isla de Mujeres. Back then the island was untouched by developers. Rustic would be the most accurate word to describe Isla de Mujeres back then. The island’s surrounding waters were a national park - perfect for the scuba diving adventure of a lifetime. I enjoyed The Country Collectors video but I probably won’t be returning to Isla de Mujeres. It has disappeared but my memories of it have not.
Wow Rick. That sounds absolutely beautiful. As I was reading it I felt like I was there with you along your journey. What an adventure. I can imagine how raw that adventure must have felt. That’s so wonderful you have those memories. Thank you so much for sharing!
My husband and I just got back from Cancun and this video was our tour guide! Thank you! We made almost the same stops and we SO enjoyed our visit! Thank you!!!!
Today I saw your videos for the first time and the truth is they are great but mainly you are incredible, I have lived in New York for 18 years and I am not a big fan of watching TH-cam videos in English, but you are something else... Your videos are very interesting, fun and very didactic thank you 🙂 and never change..
Both of you are inspired us so much we are in Mexico too 💜and we are following on your video and get to experience new things eat a local food thank you
You two are so professional and you play off one-another so well. Once when I was working as a photog with the Tribune newspapers in Phoenix I left 15 thousand dollars worth of equipment in the trunk of my car and it was parked on the street and the worst part is I had opened the trunk and forgotten. I was amazed that nothing was stolen. Isn't it always turtle time?
Thank you so much. Wow you are so lucky! That is a funny story! So glad it ended positive. 😄 Thanks for your comment, it was very nice. We have put a lot of work into this so it makes our day to hear that.
Thanks so much Sadie! We appreciate you! 🙏🥰. We absolutely love Isla! It was one of our favorite videos to make so far. So glad you enjoyed it…all 10 times! Welcome to the family! Have an amazing adventure there and please share! 😁
Wow 🤩 that’s awesome and thank you so much! Glad that we could help out! We do our best to share as much info as we can while keeping it light and fun! Our pleasure….de nada!
What a totally fun video!!! I loved all the places you brought us too! We’ve never been to Isla; I think Holbox is more our style or the islands off Belize. Hope you guys get to visit there...thanks for sharing your lives with us. Look forward to your time with Whale Sharks. You know it’s very cheap to fly to Cuba from Cancun. That would be an amazing place to visit. What an adventure it would be!
Hi Cathy! We are heading to Holbox tomorrow actually - would love for you to give us the inside scoop - some of your favorite restaurants and activities to do there. We went there in November but it was completely flooded from the storms so we didn't get to see much apart from the main town square. We were in Belize a few years back, stayed on Caye Caulker for a week WOW! was that island beautiful! 🤩 Thanks so much for always watching and supporting - we appreciate you more than you know!
@@TheCountryCollectors It was so many years ago that I, unfortunately, couldn’t recommend anything. I know I a lot of Italians live on the island and they have some good restaurants! Glad you visited Belize. Did you make it to the parks in Eastern Belize? Cay Caulker has turned into quite a tourist area. We were first there 40 years ago when absolutely nothing was there except for mosquitos!!! We spent time on Ambergis which at the time only had 2 guest houses on either side of the island. It was magical! When we returned a number of years ago, we were SHOCKED at how built up it was. We didn’t recognize it and were glad we got to experience it before it changed. Another fabulous country is Colombia! Have you been? We adopted 2 kids from there; returned a few years ago for a month and loved it! What are your thoughts on Cuba? Thanks again you two! Love your channel. You always put a smile on my face when I tune in...
@@cathyplatin3906 No we didn't make it to the eastern parks in Belize, we kind of flew through quickly on our way to Guatemala - will have to return soon! I know it is crazy to see how quick some of these places blow up, all the good ones always do, it's inevitable. Yes, we have been to Colombia - absolutely love it there. Spent 1 month traveling from north to south. We were in Cuba a few years back spent 3 weeks there, had no idea how HUGE the country was. About 600 miles long - so we didn't get to see a whole lot of the country but really enjoyed the few places we went. It was a very humbling experience, learning a lot about their history, the oppression and continued difficulties Cubans face today. Despite all of that, they were so kind and the music carried through the streets and everyone was dancing, it was beautiful.
@@TheCountryCollectors Wow! You two really are The Country Collectors! Have you been to Africa? Went on an amazing safari 2 years back in Tanzania, then Zanzibar, Morocco, Mallorca(LOVED IT! Spent a month there and really want to return) and our beloved Spain which we return too as much as we can! Is there anywhere you want to visit where you haven’t been? Must be somewhere in this world!!!!
So I just got back from playa and just booked a trip to Puerto Morelos You guys are awesome!!!! Love the way you show and explain everything but specially the passion you both have! Keep those post coming maybe I will run into you guys soon!!!
Hey Dave!! Oh heck yeah that is awesome!! So glad to hear! Puerto Morelos is so nice - stop in the Selecto Chedraui and have a look around. It’s so cool 😎
We dove in the pit and dos ojos! I think dos Ojos is really popular but we also heard that Casa Tortuga is nice but that is closer to Tulum I believe. There are so many, I’m sure there are really nice ones near Puerto Morelos but we didn’t go to those.

Oh nooo!!;-( Thank you for the update!
I'm so happy you included Isla animals. I adopted a puppy from there and I'm flying this Sunday to Isla Mujeres to pick her up and bring her home ( Montreal, Canada) :)
OMGosh no way! Awww what is your puppies name? I wonder if we saw her when we were there? That is so cool!
That is so good. When I was there, I would buy salchichas to feed strays. I bought a lot of salchichas and I'm vegetarian
Aww
Thanks for the video, showing the animal shelter, made me tear up. I love dogs and have a rescue myself and always cry when I see these beautiful creatures wanting and giving unconditional love.
Been to isla many ,many times and this is the absolute best representation EVER!!!!! Great energy!!! You guys need to have a travel show as it feels like we are right there with you. Keep up your delightful, hard work. Blessings and safe travels to an awesome , fun couple.
Rochelle - seeing your comment just made our day! This type of accolade makes it all worth it. Thank you so so much! We appreciate you more than you know.
We agree Rochelle! It felt like we were there with them! Let’s get these guys a show on Netflix! Great work!
We are headed back in 15 days. And, I say it like it truly is. Love your content!!!

Great video! I love the detail and it makes me feel like I'm actually there, can't wait to see the whale video! The turtle conservation sounds like an amazing project!
Thanks so much Alex! It makes us feel so good to hear that - that is exactly the feeling we are trying to create, that you are here with us. Ahh the whale shark video is going to be so fun! Thanks again for watching and commenting - it means so much to us.
I’m leaving this comment before watching to tell you guys thank you for PV video! I followed your tips and guide and loved my stay there. I am planning to go soon to Cancun / Isla mujeres so I’ll watch this and know for sure I would love this!
Thank you so much! 😊 I really appreciate your comment. It makes it all worth the effort! Have an amazing adventure! 🙏❤️
Hey guys, Love all your videos! We just spent 4 days on Isla Mujeres & Loved every minute of it!!! Rented a sweet Air B&B, had a golf cart the whole time, we hit Captain Dulches, Soggy Peso, Mango Cafe, Mama Rosa's, had marquesitas with cheese & Nutella, bought a six pack at Isla Brewing, sunset at North Beach but Not enough time for every thing we wanted to do, so we're going back baby! Thank you for your recommendations and your inspiration! Love you guys! Keep on keeping on and I will keep watching you 😀
Wow! That sounds like an incredible time! We heard Captain Dulches was just raided by the police and is now closed?
Wow! That is crazy! Must have happened just a few days after we were there. By the way, we are interested in traveling to Belize, do you have any videos out there on Belize? If not, I would love to hear some recommendations from you. And maybe you know some fellow You Tubers that I could check out. Let me know & thanks again sooo much for sharing your journeys with us! You two are a huge inspiration and I really dig your style! 😀
What a gorgeous island! Thanks for showing us around! The Soggy Peso reminds me of the Soggy Dollar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Islands! The drone footage was incredible! After every video I am hungry and yearning to be living the Island Life!
Hey Kelly! Thanks for coming with us, ooo we are going to have to check out the Soggy Dollar! I love the names, so witty. The drone footage elevates every video - that's why we love it too! Such a unique perspective. We're glad our videos have that affect on you - they are working! 😛 Thanks so much for your continued support, we love you!
I thought of that too!! And if you check out Jost van Dyke, definitely look for the Bubbly Pool to swim.
This is one of my favorite couples on YT:) Love the way you're always smiling, keeping it 'clean' and livin' life.
You’re so sweet thank you!
Loved the Tortugranja!!! When we dropped in they had a lot of the turtle eggs about ready to hatch it was so exciting to experience and it is a great way to support the future of these beautiful animals.
Aww no way! That is so cool - what a beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen SO many videos but NONE as ABSOLUTELY helpful as you guys! Thank you so much! I’m going at the end of this month for the first time and had no idea what I’d be doing but now I know!
Hearing that makes us feel so good! We are so happy to know that these videos are helpful! WE wish you the best time on the island - thanks so so much for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much for the Isla animal plug. My wife and I live in Florida and also have an apartment on the island. We try to find homes and transport dogs back to the states every month from Isla animals. Spreading the word is important - thanks
Oh wow! That is amazing, we are so happy to share it. You are doing such a great thing for these animals, they all deserve a loving home!
This is amazing you guys. I want to be zooming around in a golf cart with you!!
Oh man what we would do for that! Evelyn could drive us around! 😂
Your videos are so well made: professional, informative and very entertaining. Kudos to you both.
This particular video was extremely helpful to me and my wife. We went straight across the street to rent a golf cart like you suggested and headed south. We made it to Garrafon de Castilla but didn’t see anything else because we never left that place. What a hidden gem! We got there early like you suggested and got a spot right on the beach. Incredible snorkeling with beautiful waters and hundreds of fish. And for that price?!! Great tip!!
Very well done! My compliments to you both!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this place looks magical!! You guys are amazing tour guides!! Thanks for all the info and great views
You said it! It is magical! 💕 Thank you so much, we are so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for coming along.
Wow! thank you so much for sharing this! I feel like it is everything we need to know for our trip there! You guys Rock! Love there puns and all the fun views around the island! Those drone clips are incredible! I have never seen water so blue! we were excited before but now were can't wait to get there!!!!
haha you know the puns were coming, never a video without at least 1. I am so glad you enjoyed it! I know, the water is incredible! Thanks for supporting us, and commenting. YOU ROCK!
I am ready for more conservation. Often when we travel we don't pay attention to that. It is great that you are shining the light on the environment.
Aweee... it's beautiful about the 🐕🐶...
Yay! 🤟 We are ready for more too! We stop at another shelter in our next video coming out either Sunday or Monday. It is a very important topic. We are trying to show you travel while also being responsible travelers, respecting and appreciating the locals and environment. Thanks for watching! 💕
You are so generous with your information...
Thanks for all you're doing.
Thank you for noticing! It takes a lot to plan, but we try to be prepared for you, so we can deliver the best possible experience. 💕
If you have any questions please ask us in the comments - we’d love to help make your Isla vacation unforgettable! ❤️
How many marquesitas does Adam eat a week? 😆
@@exploretheworld6939 haha 😂 in his dreams he would probably like to have one everyday!
Here now guys...wish u were also
@@rochellea9652 AWW we wish we were there with you too! We are just south on Cozumel!
Hola you guys are awesome 😊 what is the name of the place you stayed in Isla Mujeres? We plan on going Feb/March 2022 thinking about staying at Cabanas Maria Del Mar but no kitchen or mini fridge for the price it is a little high.
Mucho Gracious
Really I love it! Amazing video of the island, you take video about the most important and beautiful funny really so happy to see it
Hola Jesus! Muchas gracias mi amigo!
Love how informative this was! I'm learning so much along your adventures 💕

It’s a chill little island especially off Cancun.
Glad to see your back!
Thank you Casey! We are so excited to be back! Isla is such a fun and chill place. We highly recommend it! We appreciate you!
I adopted a wonderful puppy from Isla many years ago. Alison took us to her home to look at all the puppies she had at the time, so many needed homes!
That’s beautiful!
So many amazing things to do. That mango looks amazing!
I am still dreaming of that mango! 🥭 it was delicious and beautiful! Thanks for watching and for your comment.
i am mexican and leave My country long ago ... love to see you guys to love my country ... super cool channel love it... both of you make a great way to watch
Our pleasure!
That Churro looked like it was delicious! I didn't even know you could get them stuffed! You really give some great tips here. I appreciate the advice about being responsible while having a good time and what a great idea to bring school supplies for the local kids! Im sure the school and students will really appreciate it. And that spicy mango on a stick....GENIUS!!!😂😂😂😂 Keep these coming!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate your comment, and that mango is forever etched in my heart! I want another one now!
I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you so much.❤

Yes it is a remarkably beautiful place. Mexico in general is up on our list for favorite countries.
You really find the best places to have your adventures!!! Enjoy!!!! Love u ❤️
Love you too! We have to find the best places to bring you along! 😃
Thank you so much for making this video! My family and I have been to Isla Mujares a few times, but always on a hotel sponsored tour so we haven't been able to see the real island. Thanks to your video I have convinced my family to rent a golf cart to see Punta Sur, Garrafon de Castilla, and mos definetly Tortugranja!! My wife has been wanting to view Sea Turtles for years and I had no idea they were even there!! We will be there in late May and will use your guide so thank you again!!!
Oh that’s amazing!! We’re so happy we inspired you to do this. Awww have the best time.
I've been binge watching a ton of Holbox videos on TH-cam and this is by far the most knowledgeable and with the best tips. THANK YOU!!!
Wow, thanks!
I LOVE you guys!
You have raised the bar ...
Now, when I watch other traveling videos , I find no interest whatsoever...
You give detailed advice, you have respect both for my culture and my country , you care about animals ... You are fun and adventure altogether 💕✈🇲🇽🙋🏻♀️
Aww 🥰 omgosh these are the best compliments ever! We work so hard planning and creating so this means the world to us! We love showing off your culture, promoting your traditions and sharing what’s important. We love giving back to the communities that share their homes with us!! 💕 And of course the animals - they are just the best!! Thank you so much again!
I adore your vibe, silliness and genuineness ! This vid will be my reference in planning my trip to Isla Mujeres😉
Sharon, that is so nice of you to say! Thank you so much. We are so happy that. 😃
Thank you for posting these videos. My family of 8 will be in Cancun this fall. Its our first time. Your videos have helped out alot
Hi Esther! We are so happy we are able to help plan your trip! Thanks so much for writing to us and watching. It means a lot!
THIS video changed my mind!! I’m going to Cancun next week and I knew I wanted to do a day trip to isla mujeres on a catamaran/party boat but the more videos I see the more I wanted to actually spend real time in the island. After this video I KNOW I’m spending the whole day here 💖💖💖
Oh that’s awesome! Yes spend the whole day and explore!
New subscriber here! You guys are so fun to watch ☺️ really makes me feel like I'm there with you. And super kudos to y'all for reminding folks to be safe and not drink and drive
Thank you so much 😊 Lincy! We are so happy you joined the family! Welcome! Traveling safely and being respectful to the local people and their culture is very important to us. We know when you are on vacation it can be easy to forget about being safe, so we just wanted to give a gentle reminder 😉.
Thank you so much for all the great content! I'm looking forward to exploring this summer in Mexico and Isla Mujeres.
Have fun!
Nice, I remember few years ago when I was there. "I almost fell out of the golf cart" I can relate with that ahhah.
Those topes come out of nowhere! Even when you're paying attention they sneak up on you haha! Gotta always be careful. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, always appreciated.
Flying to Isla in 48 hours! First time since our honeymoon ten years ago. This was helpful- and fun!
Awesome 👏 enjoy!!
Love the video! I can’t wait to go since we are planning our vacation in December. Also, I liked the idea about donating to supplies to the local school in the island. 😃
Thanks so much Janet! We hope you have a fantastic time!
You guys are great ! I’ve seen many other people post about Mexico but your content is unmatched thank you !
Thank you so much for your kindness!

Hola , no se cómo llegué a este video pero me encantó 🤭, yo vivo en Cancún y conozco la isla, pero no conocía algunos lugares que ustedes mostraron , gracias chicos , excelente video 👌
Jaja, sí, eso nos encanta! Tan feliz de que te haya gustado! Gracias por escribirnos!
What a great video!
Thank you! We are going to Cancun in two weeks and I am so excited to visit Isla Mujeres and all these beautiful places.
Have fun!
Fantastic place to visit. Worth watching the vlog till the end. Entertained all the way.
What a great compliment thank you so much!!
Thank you for the Google map. That’s so unique I haven’t seen other channels doing it. It’s super helpful thanks!
👍
Amazing how many fish there were in the water! Love the turtles 🥰
It was amazing! They had no fear of us and just kept following us around! It is a very special place! Thank you so much for taking the plunge with us!
You guys are so hilarious , not the first time I’ve watched this video , might go there for the summer 2023 , thinking Cozumel ( trip to Isla mujeres ) there or Huatulco . 🤷♂️
Thank you so much. We love that you came back for more! It’s such a fun place and one of our favorite beach destinations for sure. It’s worth some time to relax and enjoy! Safe travels! ❤️
First time watching your videos and you got me guys!!!!
I love it and I love the respect that you guys give to the place you're visiting.
Greetings from a new subscriber 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hey Dono! Thank you so much my friend! We appreciate you!
You guys are great and such beautiful personalities, thanks for all the great info. I gave a huge thumbs up and saved your video to my trip itinerary. Thanks so much for a perfect video.
Aww we love to hear that!! Let us know how your trip goes. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Check out our Cancun one too - if you’re planning on going here we put a lot of good info in it too! Thanks so much for your support!
Seven of us from the University of Colorado drove from Boulder to McAllen, Texas - a journey that began my love affair with Mexico. From McAllen we crossed into Mexico where we caught a plane to Merida and made our way to a true island paradise. In 1968, encouraged by an article in National Geographic, we spent Spring Break on Isla de Mujeres. Back then the island was untouched by developers. Rustic would be the most accurate word to describe Isla de Mujeres back then. The island’s surrounding waters were a national park - perfect for the scuba diving adventure of a lifetime. I enjoyed The Country Collectors video but I probably won’t be returning to Isla de Mujeres. It has disappeared but my memories of it have not.
Wow Rick. That sounds absolutely beautiful. As I was reading it I felt like I was there with you along your journey. What an adventure. I can imagine how raw that adventure must have felt. That’s so wonderful you have those memories. Thank you so much for sharing!
My husband and I just got back from Cancun and this video was our tour guide! Thank you! We made almost the same stops and we SO enjoyed our visit! Thank you!!!!
🙏❤️
Yep, leaving a little earlier & I'm adding Isla Mujeres to my trip in October to Oaxaca City for Dia de Muertos.
Woohoo! That sounds like a FANTASTIC plan Anissa!
I loved my experience at Oaxaca for day of the dead
Today I saw your videos for the first time and the truth is they are great but mainly you are incredible, I have lived in New York for 18 years and I am not a big fan of watching TH-cam videos in English, but you are something else... Your videos are very interesting, fun and very didactic thank you 🙂 and never change..
Wow you are so nice! Thank you!
Looks pretty and calming 😌
It is!! Thanks for watching!
What an informative and helpful videos. I think this is the best made video on Isla mujeres
Wow, thank you! 🙏
Once again your quality is spot on. Great footage and brilliantly presented. The colour of the sea is incredible 👍🙏🌈😎
Thank you so so much! We've been putting in a lot of work - glad its showing! 💕 Appreciate you! 🤟
We love that blue too!!!!
@@franks2983 really vivid 😎
Thank you Carol and Derek! We appreciate it!
Both of you are inspired us so much we are in Mexico too 💜and we are following on your video and get to experience new things eat a local food thank you
Oh that’s spectacular! So glad we are able to inspire you!!! 😍
You two are so professional and you play off one-another so well. Once when I was working as a photog with the Tribune newspapers in Phoenix I left 15 thousand dollars worth of equipment in the trunk of my car and it was parked on the street and the worst part is I had opened the trunk and forgotten. I was amazed that nothing was stolen. Isn't it always turtle time?
Thank you so much. Wow you are so lucky! That is a funny story! So glad it ended positive. 😄 Thanks for your comment, it was very nice. We have put a lot of work into this so it makes our day to hear that.
I really love your show. Now I am going back to Isla Mujeres, I have to watch this again maybe for the 10th time. Take care.
Thanks so much Sadie! We appreciate you! 🙏🥰. We absolutely love Isla! It was one of our favorite videos to make so far. So glad you enjoyed it…all 10 times! Welcome to the family!
Have an amazing adventure there and please share! 😁
I love ur videos I'm going sept 25th and I'm so excited more excited now that You have shown me some great places to visit. Thank you ...mucho gracias
Wow 🤩 that’s awesome and thank you so much! Glad that we could help out! We do our best to share as much info as we can while keeping it light and fun! Our pleasure….de nada!
Thank you guys , A lot of info I am going there next week and I will visit some of those place. Muy buen video.
Woo hoo! It’s our pleasure we wish you the best time!
Really enjoyed your video…definitely inspired me to visit Isla Mujeres in November. Hopefully, the weather will be nice then :)
Thank you so so much Angielou! Beautiful name by the way! We are so happy you enjoyed it. 😃
LUISITO COMUNICA and you , are my favorite vloggers .
❤️💕😍🇲🇽😘
What a totally fun video!!! I loved all the places you brought us too! We’ve never been to Isla; I think Holbox is more our style or the islands off Belize. Hope you guys get to visit there...thanks for sharing your lives with us. Look forward to your time with Whale Sharks. You know it’s very cheap to fly to Cuba from Cancun. That would be an amazing place to visit. What an adventure it would be!
Hi Cathy! We are heading to Holbox tomorrow actually - would love for you to give us the inside scoop - some of your favorite restaurants and activities to do there. We went there in November but it was completely flooded from the storms so we didn't get to see much apart from the main town square. We were in Belize a few years back, stayed on Caye Caulker for a week WOW! was that island beautiful! 🤩 Thanks so much for always watching and supporting - we appreciate you more than you know!
@@TheCountryCollectors It was so many years ago that I, unfortunately, couldn’t recommend anything. I know I a lot of Italians live on the island and they have some good restaurants! Glad you visited Belize. Did you make it to the parks in Eastern Belize? Cay Caulker has turned into quite a tourist area. We were first there 40 years ago when absolutely nothing was there except for mosquitos!!! We spent time on Ambergis which at the time only had 2 guest houses on either side of the island. It was magical! When we returned a number of years ago, we were SHOCKED at how built up it was. We didn’t recognize it and were glad we got to experience it before it changed.
Another fabulous country is Colombia! Have you been? We adopted 2 kids from there; returned a few years ago for a month and loved it! What are your thoughts on Cuba? Thanks again you two! Love your channel. You always put a smile on my face when I tune in...
@@cathyplatin3906 No we didn't make it to the eastern parks in Belize, we kind of flew through quickly on our way to Guatemala - will have to return soon! I know it is crazy to see how quick some of these places blow up, all the good ones always do, it's inevitable. Yes, we have been to Colombia - absolutely love it there. Spent 1 month traveling from north to south. We were in Cuba a few years back spent 3 weeks there, had no idea how HUGE the country was. About 600 miles long - so we didn't get to see a whole lot of the country but really enjoyed the few places we went. It was a very humbling experience, learning a lot about their history, the oppression and continued difficulties Cubans face today. Despite all of that, they were so kind and the music carried through the streets and everyone was dancing, it was beautiful.
@@TheCountryCollectors Wow! You two really are The Country Collectors! Have you been to Africa? Went on an amazing safari 2 years back in Tanzania, then Zanzibar, Morocco, Mallorca(LOVED IT! Spent a month there and really want to return) and our beloved Spain which we return too as much as we can! Is there anywhere you want to visit where you haven’t been? Must be somewhere in this world!!!!
I was just in Isla last week January 21-29 2023...... love this island sooooo much!!!!! been coming for many years
So fun!
Wow that water looks amazing!
It’s so clear and BLUE-tiful!
Yes .... awesome video! You guys are so much fun and you make a "Great couple."
💕💕💕
Great exotic scenery!!!! Seems that you are enjoying that guys!!! Many congratulations for your awesome content 😊❤️👏
Thanks so so much Costa that means a lot to us!
So I just got back from playa and just booked a trip to Puerto Morelos
You guys are awesome!!!! Love the way you show and explain everything but specially the passion you both have! Keep those post coming maybe I will run into you guys soon!!!
Hey Dave!! Oh heck yeah that is awesome!! So glad to hear! Puerto Morelos is so nice - stop in the Selecto Chedraui and have a look around. It’s so cool 😎
PS. I too love them MARQUESITAS 💕💕💕💕💕
@@TheCountryCollectors quick one for you! Nicest cenote near Puerto Morelos??? Thx
We dove in the pit and dos ojos! I think dos Ojos is really popular but we also heard that Casa Tortuga is nice but that is closer to Tulum I believe. There are so many, I’m sure there are really nice ones near Puerto Morelos but we didn’t go to those.
Soooo good
Another great video , you two are hilarious 🤙🏽
Hey Robert! Thanks so much. We try to make these videos as enjoyable as possible - lots of laughter! 😄
So happy to know you're having fun ☺
Abrazos!!
Aww thank you! 💜
Amazing video. Keep em coming. Love you guys.
Thanks Jason! Appreciate you so much, love you too!
We love them too!
Thank you so much
